10 years ago now in the early days of TFF we ran a trial here on my farm for some of the direct drills that were available at that time. The thread that blogged that can be founds here ……….. the result was interesting !
Since then the direct drill market has changed significantly and a lot more farmers are direct drilling, some of the drills at that original event have evolved and there are a lot of new models and even manufactures so we have decided to do it again in on the same block of land this spring
So on Tuesday 15th April we are aiming to have 10-12 drills (most already confirmed ) running into a AHL2 (over winter bird seed) that was waist height going into winter so this should be a proper test of these brands rather than the usual boring demo of them working into stubbles !
We will have a few toppers and crimpers here as well hopefully.
Like last time we are unable to cope with large numbers so anyone wishing to attend will be on a strictly limited basis (all Direct Driller readers are obviously invited) – first come first served probably 100-150 maximum so if you would like to come please register via the link below ASAP to avoid disappointment.
Please join us on Tuesday 15th April 2025 from 10am to 3pm to see different drills working in 10 acre plots of knee high AHL2 over winter bird food mix.
Confirmed drills attending
Each drill will have at least 10 acres to work in. You will have the chance to see:
- Horsch
- Fentech
- Vaderstad
- Amazone
- Claydon
- Horizon
Plus others we are waiting to confirm
